Sanford sets first office hours for citizen visits


The Associated Press
Gov. Mark Sanford plans to hold the first of his "open door after 4" office hours with the public Wednesday.

Sanford talked about setting aside an evening once a month meet with citizens in his office.

"It's not a visit with my staff, it's not a visit with an agency head, it's not a visit with an intern. That's a personal visit with me," Sanford said in his State of the State speech two weeks ago. "They won't be long visits, but anyone from anywhere in South Carolina will be able to sit down their governor in the governor's office, and I think that that's important in terms of accessibility.

It's a little more complicated than just dropping by.

Sanford spokesman Will Folks says people who want to meet with Sanford will have to go to the Gov.'s Office between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Wednesday to sign up on a first-come, first-served basis. People need photo identification and their Social Security number to sign up for five minutes with Sanford between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.
